ABSTRACT

The efficacy of several insecticides and insecticide combinations against tarnished plant bug was evaluated at the Northeast Research and Extension Center in Keiser, AR. Temporary control was attained by all materials tested after one application, but plant bug numbers began to rebound in the majority of treatments. At 7 days after the second application all treatments reduced populations with the exception of the Karate Z and Trimax treatments. The Intruder at 0.05 lb ai + crop oil, Vydate, Centric and Leverage treatments all resulted in a significant yield increase.
